“Who orchestrated the plan?” Caleb asks just and he points his finger at Ben and his three friends.

“The two jolly best friends planned it and that was why Ben took 50% of the money, Trent took 30% and their lapdogs shared 30% among themselves” he answers.

“So they didn't give you anything?” Caleb asks to be double-sure

“ You can confirm from your dear brother, I am a Christian, and lying is not something that I will do,” Justin says.

“But being a kleptomania is accepted by Jesus right?” Trent asks and he suddenly goes cold

“I have a class so I need to go now,” Justin says as he leaves the room without carrying a single book.

Even though Caleb doesn't understand everything that is going on, he can see the power dynamics going on in the room and why his brother and his friends consider Justin as less of a human.

    “Have you forgiven me?” Ben speaks up, asking his brother “What do you think?” Caleb asks him. “Just to be sure, we are not going to black wood again?” Ben inquires “Of course we are…” Caleb answers. “I need to deliver you to your mother in one piece’ so we will go after your test tomorrow,” Caleb says. “So are you still going to Blackwood today or not?” he asks “We will all go together after your test…or was the test an excuse?” Caleb asks “The text is not an excuse” Benjamin answers him. “What about my punishment?” he asks “Have you waved it” he inquires. “Never!” Caleb insists. “I may have forgiven you, but the bargain that I and Alistair adds was that the other punishments get to stay but I take out you deferring the semester” Caleb states “ I don't that I am not in a position to talk but can you just review my punishments? Even if it is a tiny tiny bit, I will die if you freeze my card, withdraw my car, and make me stay off campus then mom will know what I did”

    “Do you think we should invite her to dinner tonight?” Caleb asks after a while and Alistair shakes his head “No please” Alistair disagrees. “So how will now arrange a hook-up section with someone that you hooked up with too many years ago that you want her to hook up with your best friend ?” Caleb asks because it doesn't just make any sense to him “Now that you put it that way, it does sound really bad but I will do it if that is what it will take for me to hear it stop hyping the second with Melanie that I feel is mid asf” Alistair expresses “Do you want to go for a threesome to prove that it is not mid?” Caleb asks him and his face scrunches up in disgust “Ewwww Caleb you such a disgusting pig he says shooting Caleb a bombastic side-eye. “I am your brother so why will you suggest such a thing to me” Alistair says, refusing to get over it. “Calm down idiot...you said that the sex with the woman of my dreams was mid and I just wanted to get back at you.” Caleb clari

    As Kalin, Melanie, and Martin prepare to leave Bistro Bliss, Ryan suddenly halts as he remembers the nurses who traveled with Melanie, whom everybody seems to have forgotten about "Wait," Ryan says, his brow furrowed. "We can't leave yet." He emphasizes "What's wrong?" Melanie's eyes narrow "We left the nurses at home. They were resting in the guest room when we left the house, and it didn’t cross our minds to invite them," Ryan says as he pulls out his phone. "I completely forgot about them…we should check on them." Kalin's expression softens. "I'll order food for delivery…they must be hungry." Ryan nods, already dialing one of the waiter's numbers "That's thoughtful, Ryan." Melanie smiles. "Yeah, we can't forget about them." Martin nods in agreement. Ryan speaks into the phone, ordering various dishes from the vacation menu. "Let's get them some dinner," Ryan says, hanging up.

    Ryan pulls into his driveway, the sound of gravel crunching beneath his tires. He steps out of the car, stretching his arms over his head. As he enters the house, he is greeted by the warm aroma of freshly baked cookies. "Hey, sweetie! Welcome home." His mom, Karen, stood in the kitchen, a hint of a smile on her face. "Hey, Mom. What's up?" Ryan kisses her cheek. "We need to talk." Karen's expression turns serious. "What's going on?" Ryan's instincts tell him this wouldn't be a casual conversation. "I know you spent the night at Melanie's house and you guys shared the bed." Margaret leads him to the living room, gesturing for him to sit. "How did you...?" Ryan's eyes narrow. "That's not the point. The point is, you're a grown man, and I trust your judgment. But I want to remind you that Melanie's been through a lot… She deserves respect and care." Margaret's stern look silences him. "I know, Mom. I care about her deeply." Ryan nods, feeling a twinge of guilt "I know you

    “Is it just me? Or does it really feel like Aiden is struggling to decide if he wants to like me or not?” Melanie points out after Aiden walks away from the table and Caleb shoots her a strange look. “What is there to decide? You either like someone or you don’t like them, there shouldn’t be any in between,” Caleb points out but Melanie shakes her head because she doesn’t agree with him. “So what is there to plan now? Are we keeping him or a we letting him go back to his mom where he truly belongs? Melanie asks and Caleb pauses to think. “You really want him here, don’t you?” She paints out and he shakes his head. “I honestly don't know,” Caleb answers her. “If you don’t know if you want him in your life or not, why can’t you just settle without a fight?” Melanie asks him. “Settling without a fight is way too easy for her, and I am guessing that she must be expecting that, but when my lawyers are done gathering the evidence of how poorly she raised him,” Caleb informs “ You thi

    The next morning, Melanie slowly opens her eyes, groggily taking in her surroundings. She is still in Caleb’s office, sitting in his chair, but as she looks down, she notices her body is covered with a soft, plush blanket.“Could it have been one of the stewards that needed to clean up?” she mutters, feeling a sense of surprise and wonder, trying to recall how the blanket got there because she didn’t remember covering herself before she went to sleep, and she is certain that she didn’t bring a blanket with her to the office the previous night.As she lifts the blanket, she sees that it is one of Caleb’s because it has his distinct monogram, embodied on the corner. A faint smile crosses her lips as she realizes that Caleb must have covered her with the blanket while she was asleep, and her eyes scan the room, searching for any signs of Caleb, but he is nowhere to be found. She wonders if he went back to his room to sleep or left for the important meeting that he mentioned the previous

Or doesn’t he know that you lost your daughter?” Melanie asks him multiple questions.“I haven’t told anybody on my side, not even my mom … so no, he doesn’t know and even if he does, there is no way he can stand in for me because the only thing he has been used to doing over the years is running the night club with me, so I left him to take care of the nig

He can see the pain and grief, written all over her face, and his heart goes out to her as he envelopes her in a warm hug.“Hey babes, I’m so sorry about Dawn…I can only imagine how you must be feeling,” Ryan says, his voice soft and gentle.“Funny enough, I was imagining what it was going to look or feel like to be one of those mothers who found anything that their children did to be cute, but now I just feel so lost,” Melanie scoffs, her eyes welling up with tears that she blinks back.“I’m here for you, Mel…what can I do to help?”Ryan nods sympathetically and Melanie takes a deep breath.

  • Chased By My Ex's Billionaire Boss   The unthinkable happens

    The drive to the hospital was a tense and uncomfortable one, with Caleb and Ryan barely exchanging a word. The air is thick with animosity, and the silence between them is palpable. Caleb is still fuming from their earlier conversation, and even though Ryan agreed for him to drive his car, it doesn’t make Caleb feel any better, judging from the way he gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white with tension. Ryan seated beside him, stared out of the window, his eyes fixed on the passing scenery because he thought that it would make things less awkward, but as they drove, the only sound was the hum of the engine and the occasional beep of the car horn. The tension between them was so thick that it seemed to have a life of its own. Despite their mutual dislike for each other, they both knew that they had to put their differences aside for the sake of Dawn. They drove in silence, each listening in their thoughts, as they navigated the bustling streets. As they approached
